ALEXIS:$$Give me a second to think.$..$OK$,$ it$$s better to evaluate the performance of Galaxy$$s management by using the company$$s EVA rather than the book value of its shareholders$$ equity because the better the managerial decisions being made, thegreater $$the after$-$tax net operating income earned, thegreater $$the difference between this net operating income and the cost of capital needed to generate that income, and thegreater $$the EVA, or true economic profit, earned by the company.
